Join composer Inon Zur, veteran score engineer John Kurlander
and WB Games audio director Craig Duman for exclusive insight into
the creation and recording of the original musical score for
The Lord of the Rings: War In The North.

Hailed as one of the top video game scores of 2011 by
Classical Minnesota Public Radio, Inon Zur's original
score to
War In The North continues the tradition of iconic
music for
The Lord of the Rings, conducting and recording with the
finest orchestra musicians at the legendary Abbey Road studios in
London. Furthermore, in an industry first, the music was performed
each evening at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los
Angeles. These highly acclaimed performances were conducted by Zur
and performed by The Hollywood Orchestra and Choir with the
participation of The Lyris Quartet.

Attendees will receive the Original Soundtrack CD from
WaterTower Music (while supplies last).
